It had them on it when I bought the car 15 years ago.. They look like OEM quality and I can make out this number stamped into the baffle plate inside one of the covers 333EX19 or it might be 335EXJ9 It is really had to read. I cannot find a pentastar stamped on them anywhere.

Did the factory ones have a Mopar logo stamped in them? Maybe someone chrome plated the factory painted ones? Thanks again! Mike Last edited by Mikey; 09/28/20 06:12 PM.
